Saw this on another site:So what is exactly the difference between this and the Elegia besides different looks and tuning? The Stellia has the Be driver.
I will definitely check it once it becomes available.
"According to a press release from the companies, the Focal for Bentley Radiance has deep bass, a balanced midrange, and a mellow, linear treble."
Sounds like the tuning is something I'd be into.

So what music will be played on that system, built for aging yuppies? Spandau Ballet's Gold I suppose
The tuning difference is probably nothing more than the pads being a black versions of Stellia on a black Elegia. Similar to using Dekoni Elite Sheepskin on Elegia.

Looks very nice.
FYI you can also warm up your Elegia by getting the Stellia pads. But you do lose a bit of the open airiness. Everything is a trade-off in some form.

Also the black colour makes the headphone sound more dark.

Cause people who own Bentley don't buy thisi thought with prestige Bentley association they'd use the Beryllium not the Al/Mg dome...
Stunning looking headphones. I wonder why they didn't go with a rebadged version of the Stellia? Seems like that would fit the profile of a Bentley owner better.

They have covered the Elegia air opening holes.So what is exactly the difference between this and the Elegia besides different looks and tuning? The Stellia has the Be driver.

I like Bentleys and I'd buy one if I lived outside the UK with somewhere with big wide roads. I like the look of the headphones but I don't understand what a "mellow linear" treble is? Is this just a marketing way of saying rolled off????

lol they should've called it Brilliance as oppose to Radiance.Would be nice if my name started with the letter B, then the logo would have relevance for me. Overwise, I'm not a fan of a pair of headphones with another brand's logo on it.
Though I agree not a fan of having another brand's logo on it. But I guess we're not their target audience, it's meant for Bentley owners I guess.
I laughed at this more than I should.Also the black colour makes the headphone sound more dark.

Bummer. I was hoping for rolled off bass, honky mids and peaky treble.Saw this on another site:

This would look awesome..... if it came without the Bentley logo.

They look great, shame they went with a closed back design though.
